Thank you for the reply. I would be graduating in June, is it late currently to consider applying for grad school? I have a good enough GPA(3.828) though no research experience, but maybe I could get LORs from some of my professors, some of them know me well.

And do you believe I could get the ms funded somewhat or atleast get loaned without collateral( I don't have any)?

If the question becomes off topic, lemme know and I could post another one then.

Yeah you can apply for the spring semester.

typically you don't get funded for MS at admission. Some unis might give you a tuition scholarship. You might find an assistantship once you're here.

If money is an issue I would recommend applying for cheaper schools like TAMU, or just working in India for a couple of years and saving up.

I remember SBI had some special education loan scheme for NIT IIT BITS graduates. Might want to check that out.

You have to show you have finances for a year to get an I-20 (you need it for the student visa).

I see, thanks for pointing out. Will look into that.
